If you are using the CharacterHandling library, then anything in the mob's inventory or in their vars will automatically be saved to the savefile.

In fact you have to do something special to keep it from being saved...you would have to declare the variable as tmp.

Well it still holds true...if you are storing a mob in a savefile, all the objects and vars on the mob will be saved automatically.

You might want to check out:

byond://Deadron.CharacterSaving

It will install the CharacterHandling library for you and provide you with sample code for how to use it. Then you don't have to spend any time figuring out how to use savefiles.
